Seano's 29G Reef

Almost done!

I want to see if I can run it in-line with my overflow down to the sump, or if I have to tee of the return line to go back to the sump.

 

That looks very nice. Did you make a video of how to make that?

 

I didn't, but I will once I am done!

Next on the list: rebuild the entire return line from the sump.

 

Sounds like you are having a great day lol

 

Nice little reactor! Its still not 10ft though.

 

Thanks! I suspect I'll have it done tomorrow.

Funny story for you guys in a bit...

 

At Lowe's getting plumbing parts...I can't find a 1/2" union. A Lowe's employee in the plumbing dpt. comes over to ask if I need some help.

"Having trouble finding something?"

Me: "I need a 1/2" union."

He hands me a socket adapter. "Here it is."

Me: "No, not that, a union. You know, to join two pieces together and then disconnect them again?"

"What do you mean?"

Me: "A union? It's like the socket adapter, but with three parts and the middle is like a nut? It unscrews?"

Man stands clueless-ly.

Me: "I saw them earlier in larger size. I just don't see them in the half inch diameter."

"Oh."

About 30 seconds later I look at the larger diameter plumbing to see if I can find the unions again. I make note that they were all together in the same area, instead of each size being with the corresponding plumbing sizes.

Employee: "Oh look, here they are."

Me: "Yeah, thanks, I wasn't sure..."

 

Plumbing is almost done...

 

Lol

 

That's sweet, man.
